14 Cool Things about Jeffrey Drew Cummins
In regards to my last post, although the funeral was sad, the guy was a character. Here are a few memories:
1) Claimed to have a prescription windshield when a cop pulled him over and noticed from his license that he was supposed to be wearing glasses.
2) Would hold kids upside down so they could walk on the ceiling.
3) Would break up the monotony of everyday work by playing clients recordings of his young children reciting title policies and legal rights.
4) Would wear hot pink Spandex bike short to the gym
5) Called the Miami suburb of Kendall “Kendaladia”
6) His wife’s college roommate was Cyndi Lauper
7) Really loved Miles Davis and Steely Dan
8) Called his son “fish-face” or pescado (fish in Spanish). So, when he had a daughter, naturally he called her “pescada” which is a non-existent word
9) Taught himself Spanish and Italian fluently by locking himself in a room for four days with native speakers until he could speak it
10) Walked like an ostridge with a bobble-head
11) No one ever knew his ethnicity or religion – he was Jewish, Sicilian, Puerto Rican, Catholic, Buddhist, Muslim, an occasional white rapper…
12) Named his daughter after the Nicaraguan boxer Alexis Argüello and when he finally met the boxer in real life and told him that he had named his “daughter” after him, the boxer was very confused
13) Liked to shoot fake pigeons with Mexican cowboys in Homestead
14) The earliest memory I have of him was in 1985 at the tender age of 3; he took me and pescado to see the movie “Follow that Bird”, and while buying tickets I saw this movie poster:
And was scared shitless…literally….for weeks to come
